Scruffy 1 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coin

The Scruffy 1 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf delivers the same gold as a pristine Maple at a noticeably lower price. Each coin contains 1 troy ounce of .9999 fine gold struck by the Royal Canadian Mint, with a $50 CAD face value; the “scruffy” grade simply means the coin shows handling marks, and since melt value follows metal rather than surfaces, those blemishes translate directly into savings.

Key Features:

• Contains 1 troy ounce of .9999 fine gold
• Official Canadian legal tender with a $50 face value
• Obverse: effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, portrait varying by era of issue
• Reverse: the classic sugar maple leaf with 9999 purity marks

The reverse carries the design that has anchored the series since 1979: a single sugar maple leaf filling the field, its veins and pointed lobes struck in raised relief. CANADA arcs across the top, FINE GOLD 1 OZ OR PUR wraps the bottom rim in English and French, and 9999 sits at either side of the leaf, declaring the four-nines purity that made the Maple the first modern bullion coin struck to that standard.

The obverse features an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II appropriate to the coin’s era, such as Arnold Machin’s crowned portrait of the young Queen found on 1980s issues, with ELIZABETH II, 50 DOLLARS, and the date circling the rim. Expect scattered scuffs, hairlines, rim nicks, or soft toning across either face. Pure 24-karat gold is a soft metal, and Maples that have moved through the market pick up marks that harder alloyed coins resist.

Every coin remains full weight and full purity, measuring 30 mm across with a reeded edge. Dates and portrait styles are of our choosing based on inventory, and coins ship loose or in flips depending on quantity.

For buyers focused on ounces rather than eye appeal, scruffy Maples are among the cheapest routes to .9999 fine sovereign gold. Order your Scruffy 1 oz Gold Mapl Leaf from Hero Bullion today and turn cosmetic flaws into extra metal for your money.
